    Please watch to the end where we talk about how to 4X to 7X your profit every year. VERY valuable information! Please "Like," SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/BusinessGuySub | What's a "route?" It is multiple vending machines placed in various locations. The second most common question is where do I get a contract? It’s in the description below the video.

    I want to reiterate what he is saying. If you cannot buy your vending machine with cash -- you're not ready. Leveraging debt on "small deals" is a bad way to start (imo).

I believe in constantly building my route up and not selling my cash flowing accounts. Increasing cashflow, thinking long term. Because there’s only so many locations. But thats only my opinion. Please leave me feedback;) ***Love seeing people interested and asking questions. Here to help where I can.

      Great plan Randy. Stick with it. Most people get a few machines out there, think it’s too much work with not enough profit and fizzle. So the sell the route message is for them. If you are in it for the long term just keep it growing. Get software systems in place to manage things, hire people to help you, and the sky is the limit.

    I don't think I will be selling my route. Lol. I'm pretty happy with my 60 stops. I only have to deal with the cost of my snack machines for maintenance and repairs because I've established myself with Coke and Pepsi. If I don't have time to do the detail cleaning on the machines, the route makes enough to hire trusted family members to clean them. Most repairs such as a coin changer and bill acceptors takes 10-15 minutes to replace. It's important to get good quality equipment or deal with repairs way too often. You can get cans cheaper in a store but with no repair costs of the Coke and Pepsi machines, product is delivered directly to me every week, availability of 20oz bottle items at a good cost and I can still make more than double on 12oz cans, it is well worth being established with Coke and Pepsi.

    I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal.

      @@dreamduo3888 it's simple as the guy had mentioned right pay attention to his video that you may have to help pay a fee when setting up your vendors for if you're using to help pay their electric bill from using their electricity here's the thing like I said Coca-Cola has solar powered vending machines that could solve the solution of not having to pay an electric bill for using someone's outlet to plug your machine in because here's the thing a business owner normally doesn't like having to pay a lot of bills but they do anyways rather it'd be to their coworkers or rather to pay for the land of the building is on now think of it solar powered runs off the Sun that vending machine is going to be sitting in the sun 24 hours a day waiting for customers to come buy a drink and here's the thing from where it runs off the sun's electricity from where it's solar powered the exact unit that I'm talking about that you can look up that would solve a solution with the boss that you're doing business with because you get permission to place your soda vendor day right that boss might let you do it for free if the soda vendor itself is solar powered might let you place it there for free cuz you won't be charging them an electric bill from having the unit there now they may ask for a small cut of the profit but a solar powered one would work would probably help eliminate a lot of third-party bills making it so that you can keep most of your profits

      @@dreamduo3888 because if you go to think of it a soda vendor or any vendor machine is still technically a third party company all right first off think of all the snacks that you sell from those machines half the money goes to you half the money would have either went to the land that that's the soda vendor is sitting on while the other half would have probably went to the companies whose snacks or foods that is being sold out of that machine to help pay for it so that more snacks or whatever's can be delivered and replaced in the machine think of it if you're wanting to keep some money you want to eliminate as many bills as possible and having a solar powered one just might help cuz you won't be burning up someone's electricity

    I would like to know if there is any business law requirements in order to sell products from, let's say, Coke or Pepsi. I am aware I need to officially apply for a business and a sellers permit, but do I also need an agreement from the companies of the products I am selling? Thanks in advance!

    • @TheBusinessGuy
      @TheBusinessGuy  2 года назад +21

      No, to my knowledge. Just buy the Coke and Pepsi at Costco and plop it in your machine.

    • @RobShootPhotos
      @RobShootPhotos 2 года назад +13

      No you don't if you just buy from a store. However if you find that you like what you are doing, you build up to a full time route and you don't want to sell it, it might be a good idea to contact Coke or Pepsi to establish delivery services.
      You will gain access to things like 20oz bottles and other items you can't get at stores at a cost you can sell them in your machines.
      Also if you don't want to worry about overhead of repair cost of the drink machines, you might be able to use their machines and they will do the maintenance for you. There are two disadvantages to that. One, you can't mix or match Coke, Pepsi or other brands in one machine. Two, the value of your route goes down if you sell it because the drink machines aren't yours to sell with each location.

    I'm thinking about getting some machines for local bus station (open station so non-bus users also walking by), at the moment there is not a single place here that has any 24/7 access to snacks or food, but there is a sweet shop nearby, I'm wondering if people will use the machines over the shop or not during business hours, their charging £1.65 for a drink that I can get for 65p wholesale, but I'm really uncertain if the location is right or not, there are a lot of people in the area and walking by it but I'm not just not sure if people would choose it over a shop or not, any advise? I was also thinking of doing fresh sandwiches as there are a lot of bank offices in the area and not too much competition, although perishable foods may be risky.

    If you’re only starting out with 1 or 2 machines, just as a side hustle on the weekend, do you really need an LLC?

    • @TheBusinessGuy

      Likely not, friend, but we have found that taking the tax deductions might be more acceptable. Be sure to check with a CPA.

    • @zombieshoot4318
      @zombieshoot4318 2 года назад +1

      An LLC might sound like a crazy thing for 1 or 2 machines but it will absolutely protect if one day something happens and someone decides to sue you. If the worst happens you lose the LLC. Not your house and your savings.

    However the location of the machine is key. Is that the hard part … negotiating or getting approval from a desired location? Im sure placing a machine in 24 hour fitness would be very lucrative , but I’m sure they have their own vendors.
